0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

KLIMA.LÄND is an official government platform by the Umweltministerium Baden-Württemberg focused on promoting climate-friendly initiatives and solutions within the region. The website serves as an information hub featuring videos, interviews, event calendars, and educational content aimed at engaging the general public and stakeholders in climate protection efforts. It positions itself as a trusted source for climate-related information in Baden-Württemberg. Technically, the website is built on the Liferay DXP content management system, leveraging React and Alloy UI frameworks. It employs Matomo analytics with cookies disabled to respect user privacy. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although some performance optimizations could be improved. The infrastructure appears modern and well-maintained. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and formal security policies such as vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its government communication purpose effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and transparency around incident response would enhance its security posture and user trust.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

KLIMA.LÄND operates as a government-backed initiative targeting climate protection awareness and engagement in Baden-Württemberg. Its competitive advantage lies in official endorsement, rich multimedia content, and a clear focus on sustainability. The business model is informational and public service-oriented, with no direct revenue streams. The target audience includes residents, businesses, and municipalities interested in climate action. The platform supports growth in public participation and transparency through event listings and climate action registrations. Partnerships appear to be primarily governmental and regional organizations. The website's operations reflect a mature digital presence with consistent branding and high trust signals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL configuration, and Matomo analytics is configured to disable cookies, enhancing privacy. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. There is no published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved with formal policies and technical headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Include clear contact information for data protection officers or support to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain secure loading practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust enterprise CMS platform, Liferay DXP, combined with React and Alloy UI for frontend components. It uses modern JavaScript modules and includes a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. The site loads multiple scripts and stylesheets efficiently using combo loading. Matomo analytics is integrated with privacy considerations by disabling cookies. The site structure supports accessibility and SEO best practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and caching. The technical infrastructure is well-suited for a government information portal but would benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized privacy controls.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
